How did the last day of your job go? (from this post: https://www.tumblr.com/hellsite-hall-of-fame/719389159468449793/hi-im-having-anxiety-about-1st-day-of-new-job-may?source=share)
it was alright!! ironically it was the best day of work i’ve had of 2023 lmao
heyy🚬 this isn’t a question, it’s me talking about ab the daddy kink ask <3 lol i did it anonymously bc i was feeling cowardice so i’m sticking to it! tbh idk what Prompted it 😭 i think i’ve been reading more fics w daddy kinks recently & i was like hmm. what does cornflowerblue think of this! bc it doesn’t make, like, frequent appearances in your fics, so i was just wondering how you felt about it! lol i agree it has a time & a place thank u for answering even though it was kinda a silly question <3
heyy bff (why r u smoking here?? this is a smoke free zone) i love answering questions, especially silly ones <3 and i happened to very much enjoy my annual daddy kink check-in lol. also it always makes me giggle when people refer to me as cornflowerblue like that's my government name <3
so, i will say that, in My Youth (trademark), i def was very anti daddy kink because it was just so often used in ways that I did Not vibe with (like the inherent infantilization of one character and also the fact that when they used it w/ Ashton they always made him super dominant and borderline abusive and like :( that is not my man i have never seen that man before in my life). so, like, i think it's a valid question because there's a bit of ~nuance~ to it.
i also tend to not use it in my fics bc 1) while I'm not anti daddy kink, it's def not something that i personally seek out so i don't really have a desire to include it and 2) i know it can be very polarizing and i don't want to potentially make an otherwise very run of the mill fic inaccessible for someone. honestly, i think the only fic I have up right now that really talks about daddy kink is Made in Magnolia?? bc Cal has one. i will say tho, this ask kind of made me want to try my hand at including it in smthn.
i really do, at my core, think that almost any kink (with a few exceptions) can be written well !! and I'm never opposed to trying one out in writing :)
from someone who does a lot of math and reads a lot of explanations I find lacking, here are my thoughts:
sometimes a concept that is common sense in your head is over explained on paper because that language framework is going to be theoretically reused for much harder concepts that need that complex framework. multiplying matrices is not difficult, but if you don't learn from the ground up the terminology that's standard, you're going to get real confused real fast.
it's not all about teaching the math, it's about teaching how to think and read about the math in the way we've all agreed to, because otherwise, again, math people will get really confused down the line.
for example, in my fluid mechanics class, I struggle a lot Because my professor writes very simplified explanations and doesn't include all the definitions and proper terminology. I'm left scrambling to figure out what variables mean and what the question is asking. you need to be able to find as close a universal way as possible to express ur math thoughts, which means no room for ambiguity and it works all the way up to the hardest math possible.
unfortunately, this means that the casualty is the readability of math textbooks, which sucks, but having experienced the reverse, holy shit it's not fun
Yeah that's important but I don't think this is an appropriate way of doing it. Anything being taught should actually be taught and scaled up as things become more complicated but they are straight up not . they are not teaching it. I also don't think the surrounding vocabulary they're using is necessary to be accurate I'm just not convinced. Obviously the notation is necessary, but their explanation of their notation on the last few pages was really terrible \(.-.)/
not one of my managers messaging the work group chat saying all the rotas for this month are final and won’t change when I literally booked the last weekend of May off for a uni assessment and was given shifts on that Saturday & Sunday
also my availability was approved by another manager (aka my favourite manager) so I should not have shifts on those days so guess I gotta speak to him tomorrow bc I literally CANNOT work on those days and if he tries to talk me into working them I’m unafraid to cry and make a scene and put it up to uni stress
if he’s awkward about it I will go to my other manager bc she’s so much more accommodating for me as a uni student than anyone else is
Alright, until further notice the anonymous feature on my ask box may get turned off. This is because I try to trust my readership and I’ve never explicitly posted it everywhere I dont want minors interacting but its heavily implied. I had a run in with an ageless blog submitting a request to dms, made me uncomfortable, idk if minors are submitting to my ask box. I cant comb through every notification I get, I have a life. However, I can limit what asks I answer for and until further notice the anonymous feature is off. Ask box is still open and I may or may not write what is in it, for now Im going to start making it more clear this is not a blog for minors or ageless/empty blogs. Sorry everyone, I’ll get around to it eventually.
TLDR: anon check is off, I dont judge but Im checking bios now for my requests bc I wont write for ageless/empty blog or blogs that belong to minors. Ask box is still open and all requests should go in there. My dms are closed except to mutuals.
Why are the aesthetics of Protestantism so boring. Like Catholics and the Orthodox traditions have some Gorgeous stuff going on, but I don’t wanna use it cuz people can mean enough already. Like all traditions of Christianity had some Reasons to be mad at them, but those two didn’t do shit to me
But I!! Wanna make pretty armor and dresses!! Should I just do like English king bullshit? Knights and Court stuff???
